Trying To Science - Episode 01 (The Nitric Acid Saga - Part 1)
This is the first of my "Trying to Science" series, this series will focus on my blunders and miscellaneous failures whilst trying to perform reactions or demonstrate scientific principles.
I will have future videos featuring my successes as they happen, but I thought it would be fun to show my trial runs as well. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W73fecEGL6M
In this video, our intrepid amateur chemist attempts to synthesize Potassium Permanganate from the reaction of Manganese Dioxide, Potasium Hydroxide and Potassium Nitrate.

In this video I attempt to optimize the synthesis of Nitroethane. Specifically I am trying out an idea involving eutectic mixtures.

In this video we chronicle another failure in the lab. This time it's the synthesis of acetaldehyde via a hot copper catalytic dehydrogenation. In an upcoming video, I managed to work out the kinks and get this procedure to work.
